scientific and faith

gen 2 LOl

maybe you can tell my why a deity has to rest. A human quality, its almost like humans invented god and mirrored him in mans image

And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone

why gold with no need for money.

think there was a bucket on the ground like a leprichaun left it there

I have found in some books of Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris some insight on this anomaly of the present human condition. It may be just the natural progression of our evolution to institute "faith" in our mindset to explain what we can't yet understand.

I was replying to a post where someone else said evolution was "a proven, uncontroversial reality." If it's proven- when did that happen?

When was biological evolution proven? Or When did biological evolution occur?

It has been consistently backed by objective empirical evidence for the last 150 years.
It has been occurring for at least the last 3.8 billion years, and continues.

And denying spiritual existence for lack of evidence is also a cop out.

Accepting reality is a cop-out?

Accepting reality is a cop-out?

And you have an undeniable definition and perspective?

I don't think you can resolve and faith issue with your senses.
You just have to think about it.

 

[tumbleweed41]

And you have an undeniable definition and perspective?

Do you?

You are the one claiming spirit without evidence.
How do you define spirit without evidence?
What perspective do you use to experience spirit?

Faith.
Cause with faith you need neither proof or even evidence.

The same as I have as you read this post.
Or perhaps you would say you have no spirit?

Dead already?

Can you show that "spirit" is a necessity of life?
Can you point out "spirit" to anyone?

Or can you admit it is only a belief without empirical evidence?

Didn't really consider my last post...did you?

There is no evidence even of the existence of such a thing as a spirit, so it makes no sense for you to imply that we need one to be alive.

Someone once said....'Let the dead bury the dead.'

This quote indicates, Someone was able to tell the difference.

There are lots of people who will not buy what your selling merely because you say they should.

Faith is a hard sell outside your particular choir.
Especially considering the great lengths you go to in order to avoid actually answering questions posed to you.

Questions are typically rhetorical...and empty...especially yours.

I have no choir...apparently you don't either.

You were going to make a profound statement?
I think not.

Science displays how things work.
God did it.

 

[McBell]

I think not.

I have to totally agree.
Perhaps one day you will be able to start.

Cute.

But an empty retort, none the less.

Feeling threatened?
Afraid I might take away your position as master of the empty retort?

You will deny it, but your denial will only further reveal it as truth.

isnt that the pot calling the kettle black???

 

[outhouse]

God did it.
